Heartland AEA ELL/Diversity Newsletter is Now Available

What I know about my ML
The new Heartland AEA ELL/Diversity SMORE is published and available today.

Many of our schools have enrolled increased numbers of students this fall who are new to the U.S. Each year we see different demographics among our newest Iowa residents, and this year is no different. With the recent events in Afghanistan, Iowa has begun to welcome new Afghan students and families, or will continue to welcome these families throughout this school year.

This edition offers some information and supports that may help your work with our Newcomer students and families.

Please feel free to reach out to your Heartland AEA EL/Diversity consultant for additional support for your school.
